Resident Evil 5 Demo Hits XBox 360 January 26, PS3 a Week Later

227w ago - American gamers will finally get a chance to try long-awaited sequel.

Joystiq reports that the long-awaited Resident Evil 5 demo is coming very soon.

While it's been out on Japanese consoles for quite a while, American audiences haven't gotten a chance to try the game.

It will come to the Xbox 360 on January 26, and enjoy a week of exclusivity. After that, we assume the following Thursday, the PlayStation 3 will have its turn.

Resident Evil 5 is on the most-anticipated list for a lot of gamers this season, but early previews have some wondering if it's too similar to its predecessor. Luckily, soon players will get a chance to test the game and see how they feel about its similarities for themselves.
